#28 - Bubble Tea

Stripes #28 (1-12-07)

Dallas's second sentence in the first panel was added as an afterthought. The inside joke is for anyone who's eaten at a Chinese restaurant with disposable chopsticks. The wrapper reads:

"Welcome to Chinese Restruant! Please Enjoy your Nice Chinese Food with Chopsticks, the traditional of Chinese glonious history. and cultural"

I knew it was really out of place, but I didn't feel like editing it out. My editors didn't care one way or another. While I don't exactly regret not taking the second sentence out, the Chinglish would've worked better as a separate strip.

Hold on, I just got a new idea...

#25 - The H Bomb

Stripes #26 (12-19-06)

I wanted to go out with a bang. (Heh heh.)

And that's a wrap! Thanks all for reading Stripes this past semester. I haven't heard yet if Stripes will be back in the spring. The current editor's rooting for me, so I think my chances are good. I have a lot more ideas I'd like to use, so I hope Cubby, Twitchy, Dallas, Audrey, Grim and Co. can stick around.
If not, there's no way to end a storyline like blowing up the planet. But if Stripes comes back, I'd just like to say that this has got to be the mother of all cliffhangers.

Stay tuned.

Stripes #25 (12-15-06)

In this strip I wanted to show that Twitchy isn't all that evil. Just mostly.
